Márcia's path to healing - trauma-focused CBT in Guarulhos

After the death of both parents, I've struggled with anxiety, sleep and panic attacks. My doctor has referred me to trauma-focused CBT, but the public waiting list is 9 months, and private sessions at Guarulhos Wellbeing Centre cost $40 each. I have been honest with my employer and taken some time off, but I can't keep going without support. Therapy has already helped a little in the sessions I could afford. My therapist recommends 20 weekly sessions, and I know that consistent help will make the difference. Asking for help with this has been the hardest part, and I'm grateful for your kindness without judgment. Funds cover only therapy sessions, and I'll share progress updates (not private details) if I'm comfortable. Where the $350 goes: • 20 therapy sessions: $290 • Psychiatric assessment: $50 • Workbook and resources: $10 I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.
